RoboTask enables you to automate repetitive tasks on your Windows PC, ranging from simply launching applications, to checking email, moving or backing up files to uploading or downloading, sending email and much more. The program allows to easily create simple task, as well as highly complex automations, involving conditional IF/ELSE statements, loops, custom variables and other advanced options.

Here are many examples of what RoboTask can do for you:

  • Runs applications and open documents.
  • Manages automatic backups.
  • Alerts you of any changes in your folders.
  • Shuts down Windows and powers off your computer triggered by any event you choose.
  • Processes files and folders (copies, moves, renames, deletes).
  • Works with FTP and Web servers (downloads, uploads, etc).
  • Sends letters and files by e-mail.
  • Starts and stops Windows NT services.
  • Sends network messages as WinPopup's.
  • Acts as an alarm clock.
  • and much more!
